What are Answer Bots and how do they work?

Answer Bots are RoboKiller's way of giving the bad guys a taste of their own medicine. Answer Bots are pre-recorded audio files that are played back to spam and robocallers to trick them into thinking that they are actually speaking to someone on the other side of the call.

There are many Answer Bots to choose from that range from mildly annoying to downright hysterical. You can choose whichever ones you like, make your own (iOS only), or even disable them with a very polite but to-the-point recording.

When the spammers engage with one of our Answer Bots we record the conversation and save it in your Recents tab under Blocked & Recorded Call for you to enjoy at your leisure and even share with others if you'd like.

How is it possible to block and at the same time to record the call? I believe your robot does actually answer the call, correct? Then, why don't you show processed calls as answered (with the duration info)rather than blocked? I believe currently there is now way to figure out how long the communication between bots lasted. When your "bot" is "chatting" with a spam-bot can I use the phone to call someone? Can others reach me?
